HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR

ONLINE DIGITAL SERVICES COLLECTION!

The BBC Horizon Video Collection

The BBC Horizon television program reveals the science behind a broad range of topics, including astronomy, physics, math, the environment, disease, and more. The show makes the science accessible and engaging to students in a way that lectures or textbooks simply cannot do.

ProQuest Central is the largest single periodical resource available, bringing together complete databases across all major subject areas, including Business, Health and Medical, Language and Literature, Social Sciences, Education, Science and Technology, as well as core titles in the Performing and Visual Arts, History, Religion, Philosophy, and includes thousands of full-text newspapers from around the world.

The BBC Landmark Video Collection

From the depths of the oceans to the Antarctic ice cap, from a firsthand view of evolution in animals and plants to Cretaceous Alaska and far-flung corners of the globe, the BBC Landmark Video Collection is your groundbreaking exclusive HD view into our natural world.

BBC Learning and ProQuest are part of Arkansas Traveler Statewide Digital Resources, funded by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to the Arkansas State Library under provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. For an interactive list of our online databases, go to https://popelibrary.org/our-services/databases/.
